Embedded systems have become a cornerstone of modern technology, powering everything from IoT devices to automotive control systems. These specialized systems rely on software that is lightweight, ...

Embedded Linux is getting a lot of attention these days. A new kernel.org mailing list, linux-embedded — archived here —has been set up, with discussions and patches already being posted. In addition, ...

The Linux kernel provides support for memory management, interprocess communication mechanisms, interrupt management, and TCP / IP networking. The directory structure separates architecture-dependent ...

This course provides an introduction to Kernel programming for the Linux operating system, and the development of Linux kernel drivers for Embedded devices. The Yocto build system is introduced, which ...

I won’t attempt to define the Internet of Things (IoT). Given its current state of development, many technologies and communication protocols still need to be defined. However, that’s also why there ...

Embedded systems are getting a lot out of Linux. What has to happen to get patches back to the core kernel? In many ways, Andrew Morton’s keynote set the tone for this year’s Embedded Linux Conference ...

Editor's Note: Embedded Linux has consistently ranked among the top operating systems used in embedded system design. With the rapid growth in interest in the Internet of Things (IoT), the ability of ...

This engineering specialization provides students with the fundamentals of embedded operating systems including a working understanding of how to configure and deploy a Linux based Embedded System.

This series on how to get started using Embedded Linux is on my Open Mike blog. This installment discusses development models. There are two different models of Embedded Linux development: ...

USB 2.0, about forty times faster than conventional USB, makes its debut in Linux 2.6. The high speed USB devices support device bandwidth of up to 480 megabits per second, compared to 12 mbit/sec of ...

A real-time system must respect time constraints to ensure that its execution makes functional sense. It must be deterministic, ensuring the execution of system processes a priori. After analyzing the ...
